Fluid Milwaukee

Nice restorent

A friend of mine took me to this bar. It's a gay bar, I guess. I'm not gay, but the atmosphere was nice and friendly. I played dice at the bar. The drinks were good. I will probably go back again. It was pretty laid back, and being a straight guy there, I didn't feel any pressure to do anything other than enjoy my drinks, and just talk to the other patrons.

We always seem to end up here at the end of our day drinking bar hoping. It’s got a great vibe from the atmosphere, music and people.

Excellent bar, welcoming to all, and good service for this out of towner. Fire pit in the back, and great Halloween decor. Go here!

I came in tonight, sat at the bar while I watched the bartender talk and help other customers while I was ignored. He actually looked me in the eyes while I had cash in my hand and then turned away and helped other customers. When he finally got to me, I asked for a Long Island. He proceeded to help the people next to me, poured and served their drinks. I’m still waiting patiently. I finally said to him, if I’m going to be ignored, I’ll go somewhere else. His response was, “I don’t know how to make a Long Island.” My response was, “you should have said something because I could have walked you through it.” I have been a bartender/server for over 20 years now and understand if you are busy and don’t know how to make a drink, I have been in that position many times. But at least say something so your customer isn’t sitting there waiting while everyone else is being taken care of. I love Fluid and want to come back, but am a bit apprehensive now. Perhaps the bartender needs more training, especially with customer service. When I don’t know how to make a drink, I ask the customer or look it up on my phone. I would never just not make a drink for someone just because I don’t know how. I actually learned how to make a Long Island after a customer walked me through it because I did not know how and they loved it. Please have trained bartenders behind the bar or at least teach them customer service skills.

The atmosphere was giving me bougie moulin rougie. It felt so comfy and chic inside for a chaotic queer like me. The Halloween decor was absolutely on point. I could lounge here for hours. The vibe was stellar, but it was the bartender, Chris, who made us feel so at home. We met him for the first time that night, but it felt like we had known him for our whole lives. I immediately knew that I had to post a review, but I waited to get the bill to see if it was all worth the money. Let me tell y'all, I was ASTOUNDED to see how little we owed at the end of the night. The drinks were delish, and it didn't break the bank! Will absolutely be coming back to feel at home here again.
